I'M A MAN
(1 сезон 2 серия) Black Strobe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, when I was a little boy
At the age of five
I had somethin' in my pocket
Keeps a lot of folks alive

Now I'm a man
Turnin' twenty one
You know, baby
We can have a lot of fun

I'm a man
I spell M-A-N
Woah, I'm a man

All you pretty women
Standin' in line
I can make a love to you, baby
In an hours time

I'm a man
I spell M-A-N
Woah, I'm a man

Goin' back down
To Kansas town
To bring back the second cousin
Little Johnny the Conqueroo

I'm a man
I spell M-A-N
Woah, I'm a man

The line I shoot
Will never miss
The way I make love to 'em
They can't resist

I'm a man
I spell M-A-N
Woah, I'm a man





Woah, I'm a man

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm a Man" by Black Strobe (named after the original 1954 song by Bo Diddley) is a short and simple yet powerful song about a boy becoming a man and all the changes that come with that. The lyrics paint a picture of a young boy who has something in his pocket that can keep others alive, possibly a reference to the innocence and pureness of childhood. However, as he grows older and turns 21, he becomes a man and gains the ability to attract and pleasure women. The line "I can make a love to you, baby in an hour's time" suggests that the man is confident and experienced in this aspect of life.


The song also makes a reference to "Little Johnny the Conqueroo," who is the second cousin of the singer and likely a blues musician. The singer is going back to Kansas town to bring him back, which implies that music and its culture is an integral part of his identity. The last two lines of the song, "The line I shoot will never miss, the way I make love to 'em they can't resist," further reinforce the idea of the man's confidence, power, and control.


Overall, the song is about the transition from childhood to adulthood, the change in mindset and values, and newfound confidence and experience in sexual relationships.
